This is how we should see these magnificant animals, not hauled up on a boat or in fillets on a slab. We should no more catch or kill this rare and stunning megafauna than we should trap or kill tigers or whales. Here are some more of Rupert’s photos from yesterday, with his kind permission.
What is happening in the relationship between ourselves and the people whose trust we seek? How are those who wish to stop Green politics exploiting this?
What is a political party for: to give faithful expression to the convictions of its members, or to build a sufficiently broad public constituency to exercise power?
When you pose a question and get blocked! This place is getting weirder…
